Audited every page under docs/ against the source. Fixes for what the code actually does: - agents: the status vocabulary is idle/working/waiting/done, not running/waiting/idle; hook rows grow a separate Uninstall button; the Settings table labels read "Copilot CLI" and "Grok Build"; Copy Session ID lives in the tab's context menu, not the pane's - cli: `pane ls --all` reports the owning workspace id, not "tty7-cli"; document bare `tty7 [PATH]` as the GUI launcher it is instead of listing it as unimplemented; note `active_tab` and the `diagnostics` array; wait also defaults to $TTY7_PANE - git: the branch dropdown is a plain list with no search box and no stash-and-switch, and checkout is not a palette command; quote the diff overlay's own overflow notice rather than the sidebar's - window: the unread marker tracks a finished agent turn, not any output; rows cannot be dragged across groups; the sidebar and `tty7 tab ls` resolve labels differently; drop Toggle Commit History and Checkout to from the palette's Git group; ~/.ssh/config aliases are not palette entries - terminal: Ctrl+R dedups by command text and shows no directory; Esc does not dismiss a ghost suggestion; document Cmd+Enter - remote: GSSAPI is an ordinary Auth choice, not a managed-connection-only mechanism - fonts: Maple Mono NF CN leads the chain on Windows and Linux only; list the real per-platform defaults - settings paths: the three Links settings and per-pane history were filed under the wrong sections

An agent working for two minutes and an agent that stopped ninety seconds ago
|
|
waiting for permission look identical from outside. tty7 fixes that by letting
|
|
the agent say which one it is.
|
|
|
|
## Installing the hooks
|
|
|
|
**Settings → Agents** lists every agent that can report status, with an
|
|
**Install** button beside each:
|
|
|
|
| Agent | |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Claude Code · Codex · Copilot CLI · OpenCode · Pi · Grok Build · Oh My Pi | Hooks available |
|
|
| Gemini · Aider · Amp · Cursor · Goose · Droid · Auggie · Hermes · Vibe · Antigravity · Qwen Code | Detected and labelled, but no status channel yet |
|
|
|
|
Installing writes into that agent's own configuration directory. Once installed
|
|
the row grows a second **Uninstall** button beside the first, which itself
|
|
becomes **Reinstall** — or **Update**, against an **Outdated** state, when tty7
|
|
ships a newer hook.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
The hooks only do anything inside tty7. Running the same agent in another
|
|
terminal is unaffected.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
Hooks are installed per machine. Once a second
|
|
[machine](/remote/workspaces) is linked, a row of chips appears above the table
|
|
to pick which one you are looking at, and the table then shows that machine's
|
|
agents — so a dev box gets its hooks installed the same way, from the same
|
|
screen.
|
|
|
|
## The status dot
|
|
|
|
Every tab chip and sidebar row carries a dot:
|
|
|
|
| Dot | Meaning |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| 🔵 **Blue** | Working |
|
|
| 🟠 **Amber** | Needs your input — a permission prompt, a question |
|
|
| 🟢 **Green** | Done with this turn |
|
|
|
|
<Frame caption="Placeholder — screenshot: three sidebar rows, one working, one waiting, one done">
|
|
<img src="/images/placeholder.svg" alt="Agent status dots" />
|
|
</Frame>
|
|
|
|
The same three states are what `tty7 agents` reports as `working` / `waiting` /
|
|
`done`, and what [`tty7 wait`](/agents/orchestration) blocks on. A fourth state,
|
|
`idle`, carries no dot — it is an agent that has not started a turn.
|
|
|
|
## Notifications
|
|
|
|
Two, both following your **Settings → Window & Tabs → Notifications** policy:
|
|
|
|
- **"needs your permission…"** the moment an agent blocks on you
|
|
- **"finished after 42s"** at the end of a turn
|
|
|
|
Which means that by default — *When unfocused* — you are told the instant you
|
|
are the bottleneck, and left alone while you are watching.
|
|
|
|
## The tray icon
|
|
|
|
tty7 keeps a status item in the system tray (menu bar on macOS). It flips to an
|
|
attention state the moment *any* agent anywhere needs input, so you can see it
|
|
without the window in front of you.
|
|
|
|
Its menu lists every agent pane with its brand avatar and status dot — click one
|
|
to reveal it — and also holds the notification policy switch and **Quit and Stop
|
|
Server…**.
|
|
|
|
Turn it off with **Settings → Window & Tabs → Show tray icon**
|
|
(`show_tray_icon: false`).
|
|
|
|
## Sending an agent some context
|
|
|
|
Two command-palette entries hand what is in front of you to the agent running in
|
|
the pane, as a ready-made prompt:
|
|
|
|
| Command | Sends |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| **Agent: Send Selection** | The current terminal selection |
|
|
| **Agent: Send Git Diff for Review** | The repository's `git diff` |
|
|
|
|
If nothing recognisable is running, tty7 says *"No running coding agent found"*
|
|
rather than typing into your shell.
